If a driver or rider continues to offend after official warnings, then police said they will confiscate vehicles.

A North Wales Police Wrexham Rural spokesman said: “We are aware of the anti-social driving of cars and mopeds in the Brynteg and Brymbo areas and will issue warning notices under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act.

“One will be issued today to a male driving a car in the Brymbo area.

“Please could you help us by passing on any photos or vehicle registrations to your local PCSO or report to NWP (North Wales Police) using Operation Snap.

“Once a Section 59 warning has been issued the next step will be for the vehicle to be seized.”

Today’s warning also comes after Wrexham county councillor, Carrie Harper, warned this week of an “epidemic” of gangs riding motorbikes and mopeds which were “terrorising” residents on Caia Park.

Cllr Harper, a resident of the estate said all local councillors were asking to meet with police to outline residents concerns.

“Although the bikes have been an issue for a number of years, the problem has escalated to an epidemic this year, with up to six or more motorbikes at a time terrorising residents on an almost daily basis,” she said.

“Throughout the day and often until the early hours, teenagers hiding in their hoodies are regularly zipping across local footpaths, fields and roads.”
